Black Gold Rush

"Black Gold Rush" is an oil business simulator where you build a plant on an island and gradually turn it into a full-fledged oil empire. You start with an oil pump and a conveyor belt, and over time you open gas stations for cars and helicopters, buy solar panels and batteries to ensure uninterrupted operation, and hire staff. The entire plant runs on solar power; on rainy days, production will grind to a halt without spare batteries, so you’ll need to constantly invest in energy infrastructure. Oil pumps sometimes break down and require repairs; otherwise, operations will stop.

How to play?

Open an oil pump and a conveyor belt to transport oil in cylinders. You earn money for each cylinder—the amount is displayed on the monitor—so walk over and stand on the platform to collect your earnings. Buy upgrades for the conveyor belt; they increase the value of the oil. In the control terminal, upgrade the oil pumps to improve efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Monitor the condition of your equipment—a broken pump must be repaired immediately. Build a house near the plant and furnish it; buy a helicopter for the roof to transport oil for sale. Buy solar panels and batteries so production doesn’t stop during cloudy weather. As you develop, build a gas station and hire workers there for additional income. If you want, you can change the standard character’s skin to a Labuba in various colors and run around the factory as this cute creature. When you feel like taking a break, head to the parkour section, complete the challenges, and return with the bonuses you’ve earned.
